Abstract
We present a description of the freezing of spinodal decomposition in systems, which contain simultaneous irreversible chemical reactions, in the hydrodynamic limit approximation. From our own results we conclude that the chemical reaction leads to an onset of spinodal decomposition, also in the case of an initial system which is completely miscible and can lead to an extreme retardation of the dynamics of the spinodal decomposition, with the probability of a general freezing of this process, which can be experimentally observed in the simultaneous interpenetrating polymer network formation.Keywords
